    I notice alot of discussion about misspelled names, redirects, long domain names vs. short names and other various URL type posts.
    I personally only bookmark a site if I know I may want to re-visit in a month or two or maybe once or twice a year.

    I never, use bookmarks to go to my most visited sites, ie: forums.digitalpoint.com.
    For me it is just easier to type the name and do the drop down of recently visited sites. That's just how I do it, neither right or wrong.

    What about you? Do you use bookmarks, social bookmarks or do you just type-in the name to the address bar?


    Just Curious,

    I do both. I have some sites that I have on bookmark, and I have some sites that I type in every time.

    It's about 50/50. And I don't really have a method of choosing which is which either. I just randomly bookmark some, and don't with others.

    Both. I usually bookmark interesting websites, but sometimes it feels good to type it if I remember the URL (^_^)

    I used to bookmark sites. I have around 300 bookmarks in my browser.

    Usually if we type in address bar the browser will show the list of URLs from history. So we can select that.

    I use both Bookmark and manual typing in address bar.

    I am not closing DP in my browser. Every time I open my browser DP automatically loads:p

    I bookmark sites. I have a lot of sites listed in my bookmarks. For some sites I don't need to use the bookmarks but it is handy for the sites that I visit occasionally.

    I'm a rabid bookmarker. I've got them all organized so I can find everything easily. I can't think of the last time I actually typed in a URL.
